Canterbury University research has uncovered some surprising insights of online trolling and how it works. Researchers say the trolls are not to be confused with cyber bullies as their end games are extremely different.

Wellington chef Martin Bosley is in studio to take about his work with Prison To Plate, an event where people can enjoy gourmet food, prepared and served by prisoners at Rimutaka Prison. Martin mentors the prisoners, alongside other chefs, who will bring their unique style to the canapés and three-course menu.
